The poll this month feels too close to call after a few days of voting, so I'm going to let you guys pick between the top 2 candidates!
I'm going to check back in on Monday to announce this month's pick.

The Watchers are being revived!
Wow. After months of anticipation (on my part), I'm back to working on the black sheep of the Angelarium family. Getting back to doing some darker pieces has me excited. I've been doing moody black and white studies recently and it's been whetting my palette to star...

I normally don't advertise print sales on here since you guys are always ahead of the game, but I wanted to make sure you don't miss out on something you were waiting for. The LE print runs typically take 2-6 months to sell out (sometimes longer), but this one has been out for 2 days and it's 80% go...

I've been meaning to make some smaller sketches, mixed in with the usual flow of larger paintings for a while now but I never seem to find the time. There are PSDs and high res files on the Dropbox and Discord archives for anyone subscribed at those levels that wants a closer look.

The Zodiac series is all done!
For an entire year, each Angel of the Zodiac has been worked on in turn. Which has left the question. "What's next after they are done?"
In the past, I've struggled with this problem. Sometimes there is a particular series I want to tackle and sometimes I'm ju...

To stay steady, enjoying a moment of reprise is not selfish. A breath that takes us back to our center is essential. We must respect the anchor that holds our feet to the ground. When we do this, we wield a strength that can push back against the spin of the world. Asmodel is there. The embodiment o...

Hello Chosen,
When I made the prototype copies of this for sale on the Patron's Market, you guys ate them all up so fast I thought there was a glitch in the system. For the last couple weeks, I've been waiting on the initial order from the printer, but now they are in.
Thanks everyone for voting! This month's poll winner is one of my favorite Watchers.
Bezaliel is one of those pieces I was certain was a bad paintings and that I shouldn't finish it. I actually got as far as starting a new one before a friend convinced me to pick it back up. Whenever that happens,...

Hello Chosen Ones,
I've been meaning to spotlight some other creators here on Patreon, because I love to seeing other creators succeed. Periodically, I'm going to share some of their art in case you want to extend a pledge their way as well.
This week, I sold out of two different LE prints and there are FOUR more that are also almost gone forever. I wanted to give you guys a heads up in case you know someone who really wants one of these and has been on the fence about it for a while.
Don't forget, you can get at least 10% off with yo...

This is the direction I saw this heading once the pieces started to come together. By flattening out the shadowed areas, rather than exclusively darkening them, I've been able to make them ambiguous while retaining enough contrast to make the piece readable. There has been a lot of pushing and pulli...

Originally, I was aiming to have this be all yellows and golds. I love desert landscapes and I wanted to see if I could get a sense of scale and awe from sticking to paler hues exclusively. It seemed to be working to a degree, but every time I walked away and came back, I felt something was lacking ...

This is the last Angel of the Zodiac and it's gotten me a bit jumpy. I'm really excited to switch back to working on Book of Watchers full time after this is done, so I really want it to be done soon. In fact, I was supposed to have it done a week ago.
Trying to balance the need to complete this p...

The moment before we act, there must be an impulse to begin. Sometimes this force comes from our own will and sometimes it seems to arise from nothing. From the abyss, Malahidael emerges, bringing with it the strength to enact change. We are close to this Angel whenever we ...

Along with Aries this month, I will be offering the Gadreel, Angel of War Legacy Print.
I skipped the voting this month because I REALLY wanted to offer this one. Considering that this is my most popular print to date, I was hoping it would be alright.
Anyone pledged to the $30+ ti...
I've been holding off on posting the work in progress posts until I'm basically done with the paintings the last couple of months. That's been largely to do with a concern that I want each step to obviously lead into the next, regardless of whether that's how the process really went. Today, I'm work...

Kicking off the second to last piece in the zodiac series!
Unlike a lot of the recent pieces, I only did one sketch for Aries. It was a straight line from idea to pencil to paper. Which is how I think a lot of people think it works, but it rarely works like that.
Aries is all about instigati...

When harm comes to the people, the relationships and the things in our lives, we have to take time to help repair them. It's not easy but bringing those pieces back together is what we have to be to live a good life. In those moments, we are close to Barchiel. Deep down, everyo...

Making big changes late in the process is never the plan. The hope, is that it ultimately creates a better painting. In this case, I have absolutely no regrets about that changes I made.
The first one was a trick I had done before. Borrowing from Brom's work, I discovered that compressing the valu...

Uh oh.
After a very long process of using every available tool and trick I could muster, this is where I felt like the color palette was settling. When it finally blinked into this state, I was relieved because it was the first time anything seemed to be working.

Getting to this point usually means I've got a clear picture on where I'm headed but this time, not so much. This happens to me sometimes when I put a lot of work into my sketch. When I'm shy about making changes to the sketch, I start getting too precious with the piece overall. At every step, I ne...
